I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

In fact, Zhao Yang was not the one with the best conditions and environment among the people Li Ran assisted.

Whether it was King Chu Ling, who Li Ran was forced to assist, or Wang Zichao, who took the initiative to surrender later, when they found Li Ran, they all had great potential!

But they all ended up in destruction.

As for Lu Zhaogong, Li Ran thinks he is the most regrettable one.

As for people like Zichan, Shusunbao and Kongqiu, with Li Ran's efforts, they all achieved small successes. But on the one hand, as a minister, many things are beyond your control. Moreover, as far as the country where it is located, its influence is too weak to radiate to the general trend of the entire world.

Until Li Ran saw the rising star Zhao Yang. Only then did Li Ran break out of the confinement of the thinking of this era. He revived the Jin Kingdom as a member of the Qing clan, and then shocked the people, and the world once again returned to peace.

At the feast, everyone was happily drinking and composing poems.

Only Li Ran, under the influence of alcohol, suddenly felt melancholy and couldn't help but stand up and chant:

"The millet is separated, the seedlings of the rice are growing." The pace is slow and timid, and the center is shaking. Those who know me tell me that I am worried; those who don’t know me tell me what I want. Long sky, who is this?

The millet is separated, the ears of the grain are separated. Walking forward with great strides, the center is like intoxication. Those who know me tell me that I am worried; those who don’t know me tell me what I want. Long sky, who is this?

The millet is separated, and the grain is real. The walking is so slow and timid, the center is like choking. Those who know me tell me that I am worried; those who don’t know me tell me what I want. Long sky, who is this? ”』

This poem comes from the Book of Songs.

It means that the millet is luxuriant and abundant, and the sorghum has just sprouted. Walking on the old ground, my steps are slow, and my mind is unsettled and sorrowful. People who understand me say that I have sorrow in my heart. People who don't understand me ask me what I seek. Oh, the distant gods in the sky, what kind of person is this?

This poem is quite asking the heaven. He is asking the heaven, why should he cruelly take away his sacrificial music? Now that he has become successful and famous, he is extremely satisfied, but he can't help but feel a little bit lost.

After all, the most important person to him is no longer with him.

At this time, Li Ran actually thought of Gong Eryue again in his mind, and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, feeling that God didn't seem to be so mean to him.

The feast didn't break up until late at night. King Zhou returned to the palace with satisfaction, and Li Ran arranged for all the princes to return to the official post one after another.

When Li Ran returned to the mansion, it was already late at night. Li Ran opened the door and found Gong Eryue dozing in the room. Fan Li behind him disappeared in an instant when he saw this.

Li Ran was startled for a moment and walked to the house. Gong Eryue heard the movement and woke up suddenly. She found that Li Ran had entered the house and stood up. She said in embarrassment:

"Sir is back!"

Li Ran sighed.

"Yue'er? Actually, you don't have to wait for me! Go back to your room and rest early!"

Gong Eryue chuckled softly:

"At home, when has my wife, Gong Eryue, been absent from my husband's daily life?"

Li Ran smiled, on a whim, and under the influence of alcohol, he approached Gong Eryue and murmured:

"Yue'er, then... don't leave tonight!"

Gong Eryue seemed to be addicted for a moment and said nothing. Li Ran reached out to hold her little hand and said softly:

"Yue'er, maybe you are worried that I will regard you as Le'er's replacement. In fact, that is not the case. Although you are very similar to Le'er, you are you. I am very clear in my heart now. Maybe I have already accepted it calmly. I understand the fact that Leer passed away."

"So... I hope you can understand my feelings... What's more, Guang'er also really hopes that you can become her mother..."

Gong Eryue was still somewhat accommodating and didn't pull her hand back hard, but when she heard Li Ran say this, she seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly pulled her hand away, but her tone became stiff:

"Sir, please rest quickly! Tomorrow the kings and ministers from all countries will leave one after another. I will have to send you there by then. I...I won't disturb you!"

After Gong Eryue finished speaking, she ran outside. Li Ran looked at her retreating figure and was confused for a moment.

Gong Eryue's attitude has always been an unsolved mystery. At least, Li Ran couldn't understand why she was like this.

It is absolutely impossible to say that she has no feelings for him. But since they are in love, what is the reason why Gong Eryue always rejects him?

In a strange feeling, Li Ran also fell asleep in a daze...

……

The next morning, Sun Wu came to ask for his resignation on behalf of the state of Wu. Li Ran sent him to the city gate. Before leaving, Sun Wu said:

"Sir, when Wu returns this time, he may soon attack the country of Yue. After I persuade the country of Yue to surrender, Wu will come to seek refuge with you. At that time, he will only study military skills. He may as well become a boy under your disciples!"

Li Ran smiled and said:

"Haha, let General Sun be my little boy? I, Li Ran, am not so arrogant, am I?! However, in any case, Chang Qing is very wise to be able to retreat bravely!"

"As for Wu Zixu, he is stubborn, and it is not possible for Changqing to persuade him. If you can talk, then you can talk. If you cannot persuade, Changqing must remember not to delay yourself because of this!"

When Sun Wu heard this, he sincerely bowed his hands and said:

"Wu understands, sir, don't worry!"

Li Ran watched Sun Wu go away until he completely disappeared, and then returned to the city.

In the next few days, the envoys from the princely states left one after another. As the eldest uncle, Li Ran naturally needed to come and say goodbye one by one.

In the end, only the Lu delegation was left.

Confucius came to Li's house as a guest many times, and the two of them talked a lot.

Confucius even tried to persuade Gong Eryue alone, but Gong Eryue still refused to listen to anyone's words.

She was able to take such meticulous care of Li Ran's diet and daily life, but refused anyone to mention her marriage to Li Ran. Her decisive attitude was really surprising.

Kong Qiu didn't know why Bai Wong Eryue was so disgusted with this matter, so he could only say to Li Ran:

"This woman has been so strong from beginning to end. And with her attitude like this, Qiu felt that there might be some unspeakable difficulties behind it... Sir, he would have to talk to her in the future. good."

Li Ran smiled bitterly and said:

"Now that Lao Zhongni is here, let Ran handle this matter by herself!"

Confucius shook his head:

"Hey... In the past, Qiu also saw that this woman and the noble lady looked very similar. So he thought of making a match. But he didn't expect that now it was self-defeating and added a lot of trouble to Enfeng. Qiu... …It’s really shameful!”

After Confucius finished speaking, he bowed to apologize again, and Li Ran immediately helped him up and said seriously:

"Zhong Ni has good intentions, how can you say this?"
